Musicianship lessons offer a solid foundation and pathway into learning a musical instrument. Children develop skills in: listening, singing, coordination, rhythm, teamwork, confidence to perform individually.
The children that I teach the violin and piano who have done musicnahsip training first, learn a lot quicker and easier as they can put their full attention on playing the instrument because they understand basic musical concepts already.
It also gives children and parents time to find out about different instruments to make an informed decision about what to take lessons in.
It is so important that music is fun and engaging and something that just becomes part of your normal life. Forcing children to practice will not benefit anyone. However, support and encourangment is vital!
Putting instruments in a visable, accessible and safe place in the home helps children to choose to play without being asked. I am always happy to give ideas and suggestions to individuals to help positive practice happen outside of lessons.
